The main opinion of the court, written by [[Stephen Breyer]], stated that following the precedent of [[Planned Parenthood v. Casey]] any law which put an "undue burden" on a woman's "right to choose" was unconstitutional. [[Ruth Bader Ginsburg]],[[Paul Stevens]], and O'Connor wrote concurrences which focused on the health concerns and the doctor-patient relationship. In particular, O'Connor wrote that such a law required an exception for allowing the procedure if it was necessary for the health of the mother. | The main opinion of the court, written by [[Stephen Breyer]], stated that following the precedent of [[Planned Parenthood v.
